    If this were a religion—it is, I think!—what would be its hymns?https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1251682994860908546 …

        This movement has very little to nothing of the religious in it... it lacks religion's core function: "relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements." It is for precisely this reason that we cannot imagine any of its hymns.

        This is an important criticism! Part of why I'm wondering about hymns is that much of my favorite work along these lines really *does* relate humanity to transcendental elements. e.g. I love that Cosmos unites a celebration of human achievement with a religion of natural wonder.
